Chapter Forty Two: Madness: The Phantom's Plot
Christine will sing tonight, no matter what those arrogant and self-serving managers say! She will sing, she will play Marguerite! I will try to send another note to those incompetent fools who control MY opera! If they refuse, there will be a disaster that will ruin their reputation, as well as end many lives. They will know then, that the Phantom's warnings should not be ignored!
Murder…how delicious, how alluring that thought is! I feel the familiar tingle of excitement rush through my blood, setting me on fire! I can see their bodies writhing and twitching in agony, blood soaking the opera floor, turning it from golden to deep red. Some will be crushed beneath the massive weight of…But Christine!
She will be angry with me, if she learns what I have done. That wretched girl does not understand that whatever I do, I do it for her. Our souls are intertwined by the beauty of music, my heart is hers to mold and love; and yet! And yet she has turned from me, has fled from me, has run to that sniveling viscount! I warned her! I warned her never to touch my mask, but she did! Christine why? Why?
Tonight, when she sings, she will be singing for me. After tonight, she will never turn from me again, for she will know the power I hold. She will know the power of the Phantom of the Opera! She will know!
